IMPORTANT: Always power-up the scanner to its Ready state before
A-61169 January 2005 2-1
powering-up the host computer.
Document preparation
Kodak scanners have been tested with a range of documents that
represent the broad spectrum of document types found in the most
common business applications. Optimal scanner performance is
achieved when you scan documents within the recommended document
specifications listed below. Scanning documents that are outside of these
specifications may lead to undesirable results in terms of scanner
reliability, image quality, and/or consumable life.
Before you start scanning, make sure the documents can be fed through
the scanner easily. Best performance is obtained by feeding a good,
clean lead edge. This means the side of the paper which enters the
feeder first should be in the best possible condition.
Use the guidelines below when preparing your documents for scanning.
• Remove staples, rubber bands, loose mending tape or paper clips.
• Straighten wrinkled edges and tape any torn documents.
• Trim ragged edges (steno paper, perforated edges, tractor feed
edges). If ragged edges cannot be trimmed, it is suggested that you
try different feeding orientations to determine which orientation feeds
best.
• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner must be arranged to
have a common leading edge. Documents may be left-, right-, or
center-aligned in the elevator tray allowing the documents to be fed
into the scanner one at a time.
IMPORTANT: Proper alignment of documents is very important.
Documents must be fed under both feed module tires.
Gap release lever
Feed module tires
• Torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported successfully
through the scanner. However, no scanner can transport every
possible type of damaged paper. If damaged documents do not feed
through the transport automatically, feed the documents manually.
Use of the gap release lever may be required.
2-2 A-61169 January 2005
• For heavily damaged documents, a clear document protector can be
used with the following limitations:
– Manual feeding is recommended when using a clear document
protector.
– The document in the clear document protector must be fed under
both feed module tires.
– Multi-feed detection must be disabled when manually feeding a
document in a clear document protector.
NOTE: When using a document protector, feed the fold of the
document protector first rather than the open end.
The correct document preparation when using a document protector
is illustrated below:
Small or damaged
Clear
Document
Protector

Acceptable document
materials
Recommended paper

Acceptable document
sizes
• Original and recycled papers
• Photographic papers
• Bond (i.e., laser, inkjet, etc.)
• Carbonless paper (some types of carbonless papers contain
chemicals that may react with feed module and separation tires
possibly requiring more frequent tire changes)
The elevator tray handles a broad range of paper weights, from 50g
(13 lb.) bond paper to 200g (110 lb.) index paper. Heavier documents
may be fed up to 0.76 mm (0.030 in.). Manual feeding mode, using the
gap release lever, may be required to feed heavier paper weights.
• Length:
– Maximum of 76.2 cm (30 in.) with operator-assisted document
feeding and stacking. 43.2 cm (17 in.) is the maximum length for
unattended document feeding.
– Minimum of 6.4 cm (2.5 in.).
• Width:
A-61169 January 2005 2-3
– Maximum of 29.7 cm (11.7 in./image capture – 12 in./transport)
(A3 width)
– Minimum for automatic feeding of 8.9 cm (3.5 in.)
– Minimum for manual feeding of 6.4 cm (2.5 in.)

paper. The elevator tray can be set to accommodate 25-, 250- 500-, 7501000-document stacks.
The elevator tray can handle some amount of lead edge curl, but to
ensure reliable feeding the curl should be at a minimum. It is suggested
that you try and minimize the curl before scanning by stacking the
documents on a flat surface for a period of time to help flatten the
documents.
To accommodate multiple applications with variable feeding
requirements, the side guides can be adjusted for center- or edgefeeding. Center-feeding is recommended for best paper handling
performance. The side guides can be moved together or independently.
1. Pull the guides all the way out and then push them together (toward
the center) to reset.
2. Open the side guides slightly wider than the documents you will be
feeding.
3. Place the documents in the elevator tray.
4. Adjust the side guides to fit the documents.
2-4 A-61169 January 2005
Adjusting the output
tray
Different paper types stack differently. The output tray can be set with
either the front or the rear higher for best stacking.
To angle the output tray so the back of the output tray is higher:
1. Lift the output tray up and pull it out of its current slot.
2. Reset it in the slot that matches the desired height.
To angle the output tray so the front of the output tray is higher:
• Lift the front of the output tray up, swing the height adjustment leg out
and insert it into the groove below the output tray.
NOTE: Short side guides are standard on the output tray. However, tall
side guides and self-centering parts are included and can be
changed by you. See Chapter 5, Maintenance for procedures.

NOTES:
• Documents must be fed under both feed module tires.
• Do not lean on the elevator tray and/or document extenders while the
scanner is running. If this happens, the elevator tray may make some
noise and stop in position. See the Problem Solving Chart in Chapter
6, Troubleshooting/Messages for procedures on recovery from this
situation.
• Use caution when feeding small documents; small documents may fall
through the slots of the elevator tray and cannot be easily retrieved.
To stop scanning:
• Press Stop/Pause.

The feeder accommodates documents up to 76.2 cm (30 in.) in length. To
feed documents longer than 30.5 cm (12 inches):
1. Pull out the document extenders.
Document
extenders
2. Place the documents in the elevator tray.
NOTE: Operator assistance is required when feeding documents longer
than 43.2 cm (17 in.).
Continuous feeding allows you to place additional batches of documents in
the elevator tray (with operator assistance). Any time during continuous
scanning, additional documents can be added at the bottom of the input
stack. The elevator position must be set to 25 for continuous and manual
feed operations.
To add to a batch of documents:
• Add a small stack of documents to the bottom of the batch in the
elevator tray, by gently lifting the corner of the stack and adding the
documents underneath the last document.
Manual feeding is recommended when you have a heavily damaged
document, envelope or other thick documents, which may require
additional clearance. Follow the guidelines for document size, weight,
quantity, etc. outlined in the section entitled, “Document preparation”
earlier in this chapter.

2. Push the envelope/thick document into the transport. If more than one
document is to be scanned, feed them into the transport one at a time.
3. After the documents have been fed into the transport, release the gap
release lever.
NOTE: Before feeding envelopes:
− Disable multi-feed detection via the host or programmable
button (if the scanner is set up for multi-feed detection.)
